Are you telling me that if you had a chance to get Stanton straight up for Cano, you wouldnt pull the trigger? Not only is Stanton under team control until 2017 and making just 500K but also consider Cano will be making 15mil this year and is planning on a 6 to 8 yer 25 million dollar a year contract. Especially since Stanton is a stud. Hell, I would trade Cano for Trout. I know there is zero chance of that happening but really? I would in a heartbeat. Nobody is untouchable at the right price.

And all that Arod/Cano trade was before the Marlins did their dump. Now, the point is moot.

As for bonehead moves, I dont think nothing can top that resigning of Arod for that contract.

Well Stanton can't play 2b, but sure I would trade him straight for Cano in Robbie's walk year and facing a 20mil a year 7-10 year deal to keep him in NY.. Who wouldn't??

But this isn't MLB the Show.. no reason to even discuss a deal for Mike Stanton or Mike Trout (seriously?).. it's simply just a waste of time.. Stanton was never on the block because he is cheap.

But your original point that it is worth dealing Cano for nothing just to unload Arod was terrible and a bad baseball move. Sure Arod's contract is bad, but the team will live. No reason to lose our best hitter/starting 2nd baseman just to do that and NO Nunez cannot replace Cano or Arod.

And seriously if you want to talk Yankee bonehead moves Arod doesn't even scrap the surface.. Pitching has produced WAY more disastrous failures Wright, Burnett, Igawa, Contreras, Carol Freaking Pavano.

I think people need to get off Arod's nuts he wasn't even the worst hitter of the post season for our team and he will bounce back just fine. is he worth the price, HELL NO, but this it's the Yankees this isn't the first time they have overpaid for a player.

Who knows what would have had happened if the Mets signed ARod in 2001......The 2004-2012 seasons would have been different anyway...maybe no collapse in 2004 and all of the 1st round duds the Yanks put up with ARod and his terrible postseasons......it was just fun for a night to watch a game from 2000, a WS game to boot and to hear speculations from Kay during that game....I really miss thoses teams, fun to watch...wow, 12 years ago.....

Well Stanton can't play 2b, but sure I would trade him straight for Cano in Robbie's walk year and facing a 20mil a year 7-10 year deal to keep him in NY.. Who wouldn't??

So I proved my point that people would consider trading him in the right circumstances.

I agree we have to agree to disagree. I tend to look at moves more of not just want the impact on the field would be now, but also moving forward and what is best financially.

And seriously if you want to talk Yankee bonehead moves Arod doesn't even scrap the surface.. Pitching has produced WAY more disastrous failures Wright, Burnett, Igawa, Contreras, Carol Freaking Pavano.

This whole offseason wouldnt be worth talking about (the 189 financial cliff, the plug and play of vets, the no long term deals, etc can be tied back directly to the Arod contract. He opted out of the 10 yr 250 mil contract and we decided to give him a more ridiculous one when NO ONE ELSE WAS WILLING TO DO THE SAME. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! Still 5 more years of this non sense. Pavano was injured. Contreras wasnt that bad. Igawa was a risky and a BS move to offset the DiceK move, Burnett you knew what you were getting and dont know about Wright.

I think people need to get off Arod's nuts he wasn't even the worst hitter of the post season for our team and he will bounce back just fine. is he worth the price, HELL NO, but this it's the Yankees this isn't the first time they have overpaid for a player.

When the Coach benched you in the middle of the playoff run when you have no injuries and making 30 million a year, how can you even defend him? To say he will bounce back just fine is your assumption and hope. And your comment of its the Yankees is the reason why they are in this situation in the first place. Easy for someone to say that when they are not paying the bill.

If Hiroki Kuroda wants to return to Los Angeles, the Dodgers might not be his only option.

According to Jon Heyman, the Angels have also entered into the market for Kuroda. There’s also still a chance that Kuroda will decide to pitch in Japan, and reports have also put the Red Sox in the mix.

For the Yankees, Kuroda seems to be the most important target on the market. His willingness to sign a one-year deal means he fits perfectly with their cost-cutting plans for 2014, and his production this season suggests he’s a reliable No. 2 starter to fill the hole at the top of the Yankees rotation.

If not Kuroda, who? Aside from Andy Pettitte, all of the impact starters on the market seem certain to sign long-term deals, which hurts the Yankees chances significantly.

I'm glad Miggy won the MVP. I'm not liking this entire shift in judging players worth based on these stats analyses. They are useful but not what everyone should be judged on. Miggy was the heart of the Tigers lineup and their offensive force. He was their most valuable player and of the league. Trout was good, Cabrera was MVP.

Trout missed the entire moth of April and still put up similar numbers to Miggy. That's saying a lot. Add the fact that he is a stud defensive player and it's inexcusable why he didnt win.
